There was never DNA to prove who the biological father actually was.

More history of Richard Dean Brock below, after many calls and emails this will be more detailed history on all of Rick's family and his life.

Everyone from Abingdon remembers Rick as "Rick & Mike" Brock being the only two kids of the late Cecil & Marge Brock. Rick was born before his mother married Cecil Brock. His mother was never married to his biological father. She married Mike McKenzie after Rick was born then had Mike & his sister Mary Ann. Mary Ann passed away at a very young age. After his mother's divorce, she married Cecil Brock who adopted Rick & Mike.
Rick and Mike were raised in Abingdon and attended Abingdon Schools until their parents divorced. This is when Rick & Mike discovered that Cecil had adopted them at a young age. Like many adopted people Rick searched for his "other family" to discover that he had four 4 half-sisters: Nancy, Linda, Vickie & Rebecca, and 1 half-brother Kenneth.
His parents divorced then both remarried and divorced again. Marge married Leroy "Dude" Mahnesmith and Cecil married Dorothy Spitzig. Dorthy had 2 sons which became Rick & Mike's stepbrothers: Bob & Rick Spitzig. A few years later Cecil and Dorothy adopted a baby girl and named her Lisa making her Rick's half-sister.
Rick first married Debby, they had one daughter: Jennifer.
He later married Judy and they had 4 children: Seth, Sean, Ashley & Nathan. Then Rick & Amanda Garcia had one son, Abe.
Rick and Brande Booher Henson were engaged to be married. Due to Rick's medical coverage, they held off on their vows, knowing that the love they had for each other was unconditional love. Brande had 3 children which Rick lovingly also claimed as his stepchildren: Daria, Anna & Zach.
He is also survived by his stepmother, Dorothy Brock, four grandchildren, several aunts, uncles, and many cousins and friends.
Rick was preceded in death by his father, mother, stepfather, one brother Michael Brock, and two half-sisters; Mary Ann McKenzie and, Rebecca Harkness.

Richard was cremated and his ashes buried in the casket with Brande Booher Brock when she passed to the best of our knowledge.
